Eminem's Manager Has Sneakily Revealed The Name Of His Upcoming Album

There's no doubting that the build up to an artist's album is always exciting, especially if it's a comeback.

Ex-Oasis man Liam Gallagher proved that here in the UK recently, as the hype propelled his debut solo album As You Were to number one. Eminem, however, a man who hasn't released a record in four years or so, is set to do it globally.

It was announced not long back that Slim Shady had put finishing touches on his ninth studio album with Dr Dre, and rumours suggest it's coming this Autumn. It also seems that Paul Rosenberg, the rapper's manager, has sneakily clued us in on the album's title.

Various places around internet, like Uproxx, took interest in Rosenberg's post, not only because it gave us a glimpse of Yelawolf's new CD, Trial By Fire, but more so because of the ad in the background.

Many people seem to believe that if he was promoting an artist's product he wouldn't have butchered a cheesy ad into the background of the picture. Furthermore, it just looks fairly fake.

But finally, the biggest chunk of evidence seems to be the backwards E in the word 'Revival' on the ad. That style of letter has been a staple of Eminem's image since be broke onto the scene with The Slim Shady LP. Plus, if you Google 'Seize the moment with Revival' there's no such ad campaign, so...

People think this indicates the record will be called Revival, in case you hadn't worked that out already. This fits in nicely with the rapper's previous comebacks which have been titled Relapse (plus Relapse: Refill) and Recovery.

'Seizing' and 'moments' are another two mainstays in Eminem's arsenal, often popping up as lyrics in his songs, the most famous being 'Lose Yourself', although that's predominantly about spaghetti.

More investigating from fans means they found the fake ad online, seeing a disclaimer at the bottom that says: "REVIVAL does not cause these side effects, but if you have them you should for sure seek medical attention, 'I need a doctor.'"

It was then found out that if you dial the number at the top it takes you through to an automated message, which eventually becomes comedic.

"Thank you for your interest in Revival, the No. 1 slightly invasive treatment for Atrox Rithimus. You only get one shot to beat AR," it says, before adding: "We give you some serious f*cking credit for sticking through this ad."

Atrox Rithimus isn't a real disease, 'I Need a Doctor' is an Eminem and Dr Dre song, as is 'Brain Damage' and Eminem has a long history of popping pills, as well as really liking his albums to start with 'Re'.

So, there you have it. Quite a good marketing campaign, as it goes.
